All faculty and staff profiles exist within their own administrative “site group” in Drupal. The owner of the profile is automatically granted the “Admin” role for that site group, which allows them to designate other members of the IC community access to edit their profile. This is useful for departments whose faculty delegate responsibility for profile updates to an administrative assistant, for example.
To Assign Other Users to Your Profile
- Be sure you’re logged into Drupal by entering your Netpass credentials at www.ithaca.edu/login.
- Navigate to your faculty or staff profile at
www.ithaca.edu/faculty/[your Netpass ID] or www.ithaca.edu/staff/[your Netpass ID]. For example: https://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/jablard
- In the list of Drupal actions that appear above your name and credentials, click on “Site Group.”
- On the following screen, click the “Members” tab near the top.
- Click the “Add Member” button, then type the NetID of the individual you wish to add, and check the box next to the "Publisher" role.
- Click the “Add content to this group” button to add this individual so they can edit your employee profile.
*The full list of roles available in a site group are as follows:
- "Contributor" = ability to make and save edits to a draft, but not able to actually publish those changes.
- "Admin" = ability to add and manage users in the site group (add other Publishers, for example).
- "Publisher" = able to make and save edits, and then also publish those changes.
- "Reviewer" = able to see unpublished content but not able to make edits.
